Rain Poems

With all the rain we have had lately we wrote rain poems with Mrs Craig. We had lots of fun thinking of creative ways to describe rain.

Rain

falling on the bumpy roof

sliding on the hard windows

splashing on the green leaves,

relaxing nicely on the path.

I slip on you.

I try to catch you

but you are too fast.

In light you glow

like a star

so bright and nice. 

By Hao

Smooth rain

sliding down my raincoat.

Raindrops racing

on the wet concrete

soaking the whole town.

Taking you

to freedom,

dropping on the ground,

disappearing.

Helping you relax.

Helping the plants

become powerful.

By Jerry

Smooth little raindrops

sliding down the petals

of bright coloured flowers.

Free raindrops splashing

into ponds making

patterns of circles.

Minature raindrops

making all kinds of patterns

on my transparent window.

Mysterious raindrops

falling onto the ground

and disappearing.
